Just in case. (Destiny)

by INSANEdrive, ಥ_ಥ | f(ಠ‿↼)z | ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, Saturday, May 03, 2014, 18:08 (3658 days ago) @ BeingU

For those of you who don't know the magnificence that is "42", in the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" a supercomputer, Deep Thought, is tasked with the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything"

The answer returns to be 42.

When the beings reacted with surprise the computer made note that the reason it seemed meaningless is because they failed to consider what "the question" actually is. This would be fitting - since in this case here we have never had a question of sorts to go off of - just data.

I swear BeingU if you win a Destiny branded towel this puzzle will be officially perfect.
